GREEN & BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE
The brief was to allow the space to better work with nature , as one of the area ’ s many steps to becoming a more sustainable part of the city . From conversations with residential landscapers and interior designers , we ’ re unsurprised that this brief isn ’ t too dissimilar to what private clients are also hoping to achieve at home .
The PlantBox system is a product we ’ ve recommended for large projects such as that in Canary Wharf and for DIY home renovations .” PlantBox is designed to create a versatile and low maintenance living wall , reflecting the requests of many residential clients . The system is loadbearing and only requires restraint fixings , allowing for vertical gardens to be quickly and efficiently delivered in private residences . As a modular system , the PlantBox can be extended , reconfigured , or moved allowing landscapers and interior designers to offer their clients reassurance in terms of future flexibility .
Additionally , each PlantBox trough has a 1.8 litre water reservoir and capillary felt that allows plants to draw up the water they need . The cascading overflow system allows the walls to be watered easily and avoids the risk of overwatering and water wastage .
Matt Lindsay added : “ A living wall is completely customisable to your client ’ s space , light and plant preferences . You can easily create a breathing wall of houseplants inside or turn a plain outdoor wall into a beautiful feature or productive vertical garden , often responding to several of the client ’ s requests , ticking the aesthetic and sustainability box in one go .”
